Which action should the SysOps administrator take to meet these requirements?

Explanations:

Enabling instance scale-in protection prevents instances from being terminated during scaling in, but it does not address the cause of high CPU utilization.

Placing the instance into the Standby state would temporarily stop it from receiving traffic, but this would not address the root cause of the high CPU utilization.

Removing the listener from the ALB would stop all incoming traffic, but this is not a solution to investigate the high CPU utilization before scaling out.

Suspending the Launch and Terminate process types temporarily halts the Auto Scaling group from scaling out or in. This allows the administrator to troubleshoot the high CPU utilization without triggering scaling actions.
